Performance concern about dynamic routing + SPLAT

[srirat]

Hi all,

Is there anyone enable dynamic routing on SPLAT and got any problems on performance issue? I'd like to know the performance compared between static routing and dynamic routing on SPLAT.

Thank you.

I'm not quite sure how the routing protocol will affect the performance.

The routing protocol will be used to update the routing table. Presumably this is not changing all that frequently. When the kernel goes to route packets, it will then look at the contents of the routing table - it's not going to query the OSPF/BGP processes.

Thanks for your information. I think it depends on how large routing table is.

I've another questions. Does GX NGX support dynamic routing like OSPF? Do you have any idea on this?

Thank you.

True, I guess if your routing table is massive, that will have some impact. But that comes down to your network design I guess.

By GX NGX, you mean the GPRS-aware version of Check Point, correct? It won't matter about the Check Point software - it's the underlying OS that matters. I've seen OSPF used with GX running on IPSO. If you run on SPLAT Pro instead, you'll also be able to run OSPF.
